“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” Thomas Jefferson.
Quote taken from Chuck Baldwin.
Well I don't post here much but recent events forced me to put in my three cents (because two are just not enough). In the wake of The Oregon shooting at Clackamas Town Center (in which a member of my family was detained in their place of business due to working a few blocks from this location), and the tragic school shooting where one man (read coward) was able to murder 5 and 7 year old children at school (good to mention here they had a problem with this person the day before at Sandy Hoke Elementary. They did have some warning school officials didn't heed.). The communists in our government not allowing any good tragedy to go to waste see this as their opportunity to cease control of the countries guns and take away your right to have one. Oh I know they say they only want to take away semi automatic assault rifles. They will tell you, "were not going after the hunter or the honest american wanting to protect their home." Or any number of BS slogans such as that. Truth? They just want to start the gun grabbing locomotive that will eventually stop only when they have disarmed everyone of every gun. See ladies and gents enslaving an armed country wouldn't be easy (actually it would be down right next to impossible). You would have years and years of guerilla warfare, and that would just take way too long. Nope slowly getting rid of all the guns is the best bet. No better place to start than with the ones that can actually protect us. After all, contrary to popular propaganda the second amendment is to protect us against a tyrannical government first, it wasn't written for the outdoor sportsman. See this is just part of the hegelian dialectic. Problem, reaction, and in this case a preconceived solution (preconceived in all they were waiting for was a tragedy by which to implement what they had already planned).
I would also like to say I am not being insensitive to the people directly impacted by these tragic events or their families. These individuals and families were traumatized, murdered, and many will have severe physical and emotional scars the rest of their life. I personally know people who were at the Oregon mall shooting. However, pushing through legislation that is not designed to protect the american people, and will ultimately lead to more deaths of innocent people (such is always the case when you disarm a population. Law abiding citizens will obey laws and criminals will not. Ultimately, any government that disarms it's population will eventually murder that very population. Some history lessons concerning our second amendment are needed here.

Sun Bear
“If your religion doesn’t grow corn, I don’t want to hear about it.” – Sun Bear
I got the above quote from: http://christophernyerges.blogspot.com/2012/03/sun-bear.html
Probably not what most would consider historic so to speak. At first I figured it had to do with the fact that what one believes should improve their life, or help them grow. Being a christian I figured it was a quote that came from a smart native american fellow who got tired of people trying to convert him. According to the blog, " Sun Bear created what he called a modern tribe, the Bear Tribe, with both Indians and non-Indians who were interested in self-reliance and living in a traditional tribal society." Sun Bear even had a magazine at one time. I had never heard of him, and know very little about him except what this blog has told me. I left a comment on Mr. Nyerges blog because I was impressed with the comment. Mr. Nyerges responded by saying, yes, and Sun Bear was not being "anti-Christian." Lots of people purport to follow all sorts of preachers and saviors in many religions. What I got from Sun Bear was that we should LIVE what we believe, and "by their fruits ye shall know them," rather than, "you might sorta get what they're all about if you just listen long enough." His comment is a practical way to evaluate followers of any religion, political persuasion, school of thought, philosophy, etc."
Mr. Nyerges response hit me as odd to begin with (mostly because I think he misread the intent of my initial post). However, it did show a certain wisdom many don't follow today. So many of us are willing to be led and jump right into something without really thinking about it. I've been guilty in the past, as I'm sure most could say the same if they are being honest with themselves. Do we stand up for what we believe in? Do we do the things we tell others they should do? Mainly, are you growing? What kind of fruit are you producing? There have been a lot of positive quotes on this blog, and a lot of politically negative ones. My intention has been to get others to see that things are not always what they appear. I have been scared, angry, upset, and concerned for those around me while writing some of these. In others I have felt compassion, love toward others, empathy. I'm a man who wants to do good by others (which is why I became a nurse), and I find mallicious behavior distasteful. It is for those reasons that I initially started this blog.
Today, I find myself a different person than I was when I started this blog. I had a lot of fear, and now I know that it won't do me any good. Of course when your eyes get opened to how bad the corruption in this world for the first time (like mine were starting 5 years ago) it tends to impact you. At first I thought we could still change course as a nation. We still can but our collective apathy makes that highly unlikely. Now, I'm really more concerned with getting out the good news (God, and Jesus Christ). Something I have unfortunately been distracted from.
I may from time to time post here. But for the most part this is it. I still believe we as a nation have very trying times ahead. My advice (for whatever it's worth) would be to get to know those around you (neighbors, church friends, exc), and have a simple and doable plan for basic disaster planning. Do some research and do what is sane (not lock yourself away in a log cabin living as a hermit with 10 years of food on hand). If this country is really going to go down the tubes I can't see more than a year doing anyone much good. I will have less than that. After all there comes a point where preparing stops being preparation and starts to become panic and fear. That is no way to live (trust me on that). I firmly believe that no matter how good a plan you may have it will eventually fail (meaing something will come up that will throw you off your plan) if there is a prolonged incident. At some point if something really does go south you will need a relationship with God. I'm not going to tell you what to believe. I'll just say from my experience as a nurse those who have God fare much better in a health crisis than those who don't. I bid any who might come across this blog well. Be kind to one another, forgiving one another. If you have fear concerning the state of affairs in this world, lose it. I've learned through experience the fear will do you no good. Fear only leads to hatred, resentment and becoming stagnant when you might need to get moving. As another quote stated, "Harboring bitterness and resentment is like shooting yourself in the leg in order to hit your offender with the recoil."
In closing, to the one or two who have read this thank you. You have watched me learn to deal with this world with my eyes open. May God bless all of you in the precious name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But now it is time for me to put far more effort into my relationship with God and my family.

Cicero
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the galleys, heard in the very hall of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor - he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and wears their face and their garment, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation - he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city - he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.
- Cicero, 42 B.C.
I got this quote from realityzone.com It is so true. Speaks for it self.

Janet Naolitano quote
“The First Amendment protects radical opinions, but we need the legal tools to do things like monitor the recruitment of terrorists via the Internet,” Napolitano told a gathering of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy. “We can significantly advance security without having a deleterious impact on individual rights in most instances. At the same time, there are situations where trade-offs are inevitable.” Current Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
Quote taken from http://www.infowars.com/napolitano-advocates-government-surveillance-of-internet-to-fight-homegrown-terrorism/
Well, I don't know about you but knowing the Obama administration can "advance security without having a deleterious impact on individual rights in MOST instances" makes me sleep more soundly at night. Hey, I wonder what those instances will be? I mean they did say, "At the same time, there are situations where TRADE-OFFS ARE INEVITABLE." I'm sure they won't target anyone who disagrees with the President. I'm sure constitutionalists, christians, and people who love freedom over government controlled socialism won't be targeted. After all this is a free country. We shouldn't read too much into these things. It's far better to trust and believe the benevolent nature of our government. I'm sure everything will work out just fine. When in doubt just keep say this little saying to yourself. I think you'll find it helps you relax, "Four legs good, two legs bad." See don't you feel better now. NOW DON'T YOU COMRADE!!!! You better just say yes if you know what I mean.

Congressman Louis T. McFadden
“Mr. Chairman, we have in this Country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the Fed. The Fed has cheated the Government of these United States and the people of the United States out of enough money to pay the Nation’s debt. The depredations and iniquities of the Fed has cost enough money to pay the National debt several times over.”
“This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States, has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the maladministration of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.”
“Some people who think that the Federal Reserve Banks United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies, which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory moneylender. In that dark crew of financial pirates there are those who would cut a man’s throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain International propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime.”
Congressman Louis T. McFadden, May 23, 1933

New York Mayor John Francis Hylan
‘The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. To depart from mere generalizations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes.
‘They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business.
‘These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government. It operates under cover of a self-created screen [and] seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."

Senator Joseph McCarthy
Today, we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity. ~ Senator Joseph McCarthy
I pulled this quote off my friend Stephen T. McCarthys blog. I know it to be authentic because Stephens name is not his real name but his pen name, and the McCarthy name is after this great senator. So, needless to say my friend would never misrepresent Mr. McCarthy.
Today I find Joseph McCarthys quote to be more true than ever. We have removed God from our society, removed him from our schools, our court houses, our society, and most importantly our homes and hearts. When the children of Israel did this in the old testament they found themselves in one situation: SLAVERY. After all it is the bible, that holly word of God that says, "The Borrow is slave to the lender." Well as we speak the United States Government is trillions in debt, and hundreds of trillions in financial liabilities (Social Security, obama care, welfare, exc.). We can't pay for all our IOU's so there are two options: 1)print more money, and die 2) get forclosed on and die. No society has remained free that has inflated its money supply, and I don't believe we will be the first.
In case you don't believe me let me recommend a few books: The Creature From Jekyll Island By G. Edward Griffin, The Naked Capitalist by W. Cleon Skoussen, The 5000 year leap by W. Cleon Skoussen, and Blacklisted By History By Stanton Evans.
I could go on but that should get anyone on the right path.
